"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"Bacon (easy to clean up afterward, bacon comes out perfect.) ... Bacons great because I don't have to clean a bunch of grease off the stove after. Tip: put a slice of bread on the bottom to absorb a lot of the great, that way its even easier to clean at the end."

"The cats are finally not terrified of it ... I can set it to quiet mode where it is barely audible ... Even quiet mode picks everything up just fine."
"I have that unit and absolutely love it for its cooling power to noise output."
"Die midea hat aber einen Inverter und der ist viel leiser als der herkömmliche Kompressor in Monoblock Geräten. ... während du neben der midea schlafen kannst"

"What I like about the sprout is that it doesn't let the wick sit in the water (the water is fed in slowly from the top), and it has a dry out mode so it shouldn't mold as easily. ... not worrying about mold"
"I just bought one of these and am so excited to stop having a stupid plastic one that would be infinitely easier to clean if they spent 63 more cents on plastic for the mold"
"Sprout's design has the fan *before* the wick so it *pushes* the moist air out instead. So far so good."

"I much prefer the Carepod. In my experience, the Canopy doesn’t release as much moisture as I’d like ... it runs continuously, putting out moisture all day/night until the water runs out"
"Carepods are also very strong, like anything above the lowest setting is usually too strong unless someone is really congested."
"the slightly larger stainless steel one I had across the room when sleeping because it was so strong"

"3 months of constant use and the screen blackout on me. ... others have similar complaints of durration so i'd say no ... was playing rivals then suddenly the monitor turned off. after unplugging it waiting a while i was able to power it but the display won't show nor light up but the sound is working. ... looking into this there have been numerous complaints about the longevity of the device. ... FUCK NO, GO OLED! just not this one"
"I wouldn't count on JBL for longevity personally. ... Stinks to have to replace that that soon tho 2 years is a joke. ... longevity in home theater systems isn't my first place I'd give them points."
"battery died just months after warranty expired."

"But it’s a lot to bring out for small jobs."

"A note of caution: ultrasonic humidifiers like this atomize *everything* in the water, including any bacteria and minerals. The droplets are microscopic (in the nanometer(!) range), and so can penetrate deep into your lungs. If you're using an ultrasonic mister, you should be using distilled water, or, ideally, deionized. They recommend washing it every few days too. (Most of the parts can go in the dishwasher.) And don't leave water in the mister reservoir when you're not using it. ... As an example of how they can vaporize (bad) stuff other than water, when I first filled the Levoit mister, I poured in water from a gallon jug of distilled water that I had, but I forgot that I had added table salt to the water for flushing out my sinuses. The water was as salty as seawater, and the mist it made created a white fog in the room that left a white deposit on tables and the stereo and everyplace where it landed. Breathing sodium chloride probably isn't too bad for you, but if you are seeing "white dust" after adding hard water, you are probably breathing calcium sulfate deep into your lungs, and that is probably not good at all. RTFM and follow the instructions! ... Bacteria and minerals, both, and the microscopic droplets carry both deep into your lungs."
"The carepod doesn’t have a filter need, but it requires distilled water, and I cannot stand the idea of buying water and using over 1 gallon of it per day. ... We returned the carepod. It was too expensive for me to comfortably use tap water and our cheaper humidifier from before either of these two left white dust everywhere when we used tap water."
"However, the distilled water that I'm using in my Levoit mister requires is $2.50 a gallon, and I use about a gallon a day, so the Vicks is cheaper (to say nothing of the inconvenience of hauling about 50 pounds of distilled water home from the grocery store every week). ... I'm putting distilled water in this ultrasonic mister now, and at about a gallon a day, the cost kind of adds up, and more importantly, having to buy and haul in multiple 20-pound plastic jugs to feed the thing every week is kind of a pain."

"hated that you had to refill it when it was still like 1/3 full because of how it was designed"

"the only downside is that it doesn’t have a humidity sensor, so it runs continuously, putting out moisture all day/night until the water runs out."
Buffalo_Cottage 1.0We got a Carepod One for our bedroom three years ago and love it. We've tried the trick with damp/wet towels, putting a bowl of water near the radiator, and nothing really had an impact. My sinuses and nose were so dry I was getting nosebleeds. So far, the Carepod has done the trick and is still going strong without any repairs or replacement parts needed. It's a steam humidifier. We get it out every fall and keep it out through the spring. It only has 3 parts. The basin is round and made of stainless steel, so dishwasher friendly and no little corners/crannies that will get gunky. One big box that got checked in my book was the replacement parts they offer. I expect to get many more years out of it before I need to replace the wand thingy!
preluxe 1.0I have a Carepod One and I've had it for about 13 months now. Overall, I love it. Theres 5 pieces total in the whole unit - the unit itself, the metal drum, the oscillating wand, a rubber gasket, and a metal plate on the inside of the lid. The metal drum (where the water goes) and the metal plate can go in the dishwasher. I hand wash the gasket with dish soap and my dish sponge. I gently wash the oscillating wand. And I wipe out the unit. I clean once a week, and it takes maybe 5 minutes not counting running the dishwasher. If I don't have room in my dishwasher, whole thing takes maybe 10 minutes to hand wash everything. I've never gotten any of that scum or slime like in cheaper more plastic dependant units I've had in the past. I will say at the 12 month mark it stopped working. I went on their website, did all the troubleshooting things, then reached out to customer service. They were super responsive and sent me a new oscillating wand, and it fixed the problem right away. The wands have a 2 year warranty so the replacement + shipping was free. I use mine every night and other than the one issue, which was fixed by their customer service quickly, I've had zero issues and I would defs recommend them.
Restyourwearyhead23 1.0I live in Canada and own two Carepod humidifiers (Carepod one and Carepod mini). They are ultrasonic cool mist. Expensive but so very easy to clean. Worth the investment in my opinion.
BB-Sam 0.4Carepod. Easy to clean, you can literally boil most of the pieces and we just use rubbing alcohol on the part you can't remove. So easy.
bigorangemonkey 0.4We love our Carepod. It is easy to clean and works flawlessly. That said, always use filtered water in it or any other humidifier to extent its life.
Cakealldayplease 0.4I vote for carepod. I’ve had the two smaller sizes and both work well. I use the smaller plastic one on the bedside table and the slightly larger stainless steel one I had across the room when sleeping because it was so strong (this is different times btw, I never needed both!). I’ve had canopy- and it did get moldy. Maybe I should have washed it more than monthly when the new filters came though. Carepods are sooo easy to take apart and clean, every part is cleanable. Carepods are also very strong, like anything above the lowest setting is usually too strong unless someone is really congested.
d3816547290 0.4depechekat 0.4I have the carepod and it is by far the best humidifier i’ve ever had. The only plastic part that touches the water is the arm that hangs inside and it is super easy to clean. The stainless steel bucket and inside lid can go in the dishwasher which is awesome.
Extension_Wing_3838 0.4Carepod. Super easy to clean
hehehaha24 0.4I have this and it's great to clean, but the wand inside that activates the mist isn't working well. I looked online and it's not an uncommon problem, so just beware. You can replace the wand for $30, but it just sucks that it's not working properly out of the box when the humidifier is so expensive.
I'm glad you haven't! I'm going to have to reach out to their customer service. I love the concept sm
